The Clementine Purse

2009-11-20T20:59:00.000-08:00

Brought to you by Pickup Some Creativity, the giveaway is for this cute little purse. But if you don't win, the pattern will be for sale in her shop on Monday!
When I first saw the name of this purse, I thought oh cute! Just like Rae's little girl Clementine. And then as I read her post I saw this: I was partly inspired by the gathered patch pocket tutorial from Made By Rae, and so named the purse after her daughter.
How sweet is that?! Adorable. Thank you Christine for sharing with us!

Giveaway ends Sunday, November 22nd.
